The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Old Rivals Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Old Rivals Bai Yi repeatedly confirmed, but what emerged in her mind were indeed three refresh points.

However, after thinking carefully, Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief again.

The cycle challenge had only two days left, and based on last time’s experience, the level of monsters this time should remain consistent with yesterday’s.

That meant tomorrow’s final challenge wouldn’t present an absurd situation with the monsters averaging Third Rank.

Otherwise, she would have to consider leaving a wave today to lower the difficulty and give up tomorrow’s points.

Additionally, after yesterday’s breeding, the number of mature needle erosion insects had reached 1924, which was enough to ensure combat power even when splitting the forces.

At this current speed, tomorrow’s needle erosion insect count could even approach three thousand, which would be sufficient to deal with ordinary soldiers!

What a pity Ju hadn’t returned yet, making it less secure…

Thinking of this, Bai Yi summoned Zhan Yi and her two companions, assigning them to the three refresh points.

She allocated 600 needle erosion insects to each, while she stayed within the territory with the remaining hundred and Poison Blood Beetles.

Although today’s theoretical combat power of the monsters was the same as yesterday’s.

Having just acquired a Tier Five bodyguard last night, which had maximized her sense of security, with Ju not around, Bai Yi felt oddly unsettled.

She felt the outside suddenly became much more dangerous.

It’s easy to get used to extravagance.

Her consciousness tapped into the insect swarm, and the hour-long waiting time quickly passed, revealing today’s monster types.

[Current difficulty level 36, First Wave: lv.20 Skeleton Warrior*300, lv.20 Animated Corpse*200]

Seeing the panel’s prompt, Bai Yi straightened up.

“Today they are undead? What’s going on over there with Zhan Yi…”

Bai Yi immediately thought of Zhan Yi as the Undead Mage.

She didn’t expect that yesterday’s envy of the Corpse King encountering zombies would mean she would encounter some herself today.

Though they weren’t plant-type monsters, the undead were not bad.

Her consciousness quickly switched to Zhan Yi’s battlefield, controlling the urge of the needle erosion insects to act.

And the undead inside the refresh point were unlike the monsters from the past few days; after appearing, they didn’t immediately charge toward the territory but stayed put, seemingly confused.

“Can you control them?”

Although needle erosion insects still couldn’t rightly hear human language, they could convey Bai Yi’s intent.

Zhan Yi nodded, then shook her head and controlled a skeleton to stand in front of her with an ordinary skeleton she had brought.

The former stepped forward and struck a muscular pose, while the latter suddenly lost strength, its body crumbling to the ground as the Soul Flames were retracted into Zhan Yi’s body.

Bai Yi pondered, recalling Zhan Yi’s panel, and understood Zhan Yi’s meaning.

Through these days of cycle activities, Zhan Yi had reached level 26.

Her core talent could already control Second Rank undead, and she had control over 2200 undead.

However, due to the constraint of magic power, Zhan Yi hadn’t started cultivating her Second Rank undead and didn’t know their specifics.

Now it seemed that Second Rank undead might require consuming the control slots of two First Rank undead.

This meant if Zhan Yi relinquished her previous skeletons, she could control 1100 Second Rank undead?

Bai Yi mentally calculated and quickly asked,

“Zhan Yi, how is the energy cost to forcefully control these undead?”

Zhan Yi shook her head; for her, controlling these uncommanded, unclaimed undead was as simple as eating or drinking.

As long as there was no higher undead or another Undead Mage present, she was the highest Authority over these undead.

“In that case, control as many higher-ranked undead as possible, and if necessary, you can abandon the undead currently in the territory.

If needed, use the panel to direct the needle erosion insects for assistance.”

Just as Bai Yi finished giving instructions, the other two refresh points also completed their battles, and the next wave of monsters refreshed.

[Current difficulty level 37, Second Wave: lv.22 Skeleton Swordsman*300, lv.22 Skeleton Archer*200]

This time, Bai Yi attentively watched as this wave of undead, just teleported over, immediately stiffened.

While the First Rank skeletons that Zhan Yi brought instantly collapsed, leaving only the Soul Flames coagulating into streams that remerged into Zhan Yi’s body.

This control method, which only required a glance to seize all undead, was terrifying.

Being undead really didn’t offer any human rights at all.

Whenever the opponent was stronger, they were subject to man’s command, or rather, the command of ghosts.

Bai Yi guessed this stemmed from the intimidation of the Soul Flames.

Like those First Rank undead, with little intelligence, their Soul Flames were mere toys in Zhan Yi’s hands.

Easily deprived, turning into a pile of dead materials.

After confirming that no accidents would occur on Zhan Yi’s side, Bai Yi turned her attention to the other two sides.

While the attributes of the needle erosion insects were evenly matched with these Second Rank skeletons, the needle erosion insects’ precursors already leveraged corrosive poison liquid to firmly suppress the skeletons, and now was no exception.

Additionally, the strength of the needle erosion insects’ bodies had significantly surpassed their precursor, the giant bee, and even the Animated Corpses from the first wave were no longer a dilemma.

Utilizing their sharp limbs and wings, engaging in direct combat, they were not inferior to Animated Corpses.

Even with the elite undead that appeared in the third wave, Zhan Er and Nong Si were not to be underestimated!

However, to prevent accidents, Bai Yi closely watched the entire battle.

[You have completed today’s cycle challenge, with a current time of 7 minutes 31 seconds, surpassing 100% of the Lords in the current zone]

[You have earned 28,800 points; the Points Mall has opened]

“I actually ranked first today!”

Seeing the numbers prompted by the system, Bai Yi exclaimed in surprise, hurrying to open the mall to check today’s updates.

Today’s limited-time offer was a Task Settlement Card, costing 2000 points.

Though the specific information wasn’t visible, the name hinted at its functionality.

After quickly calculating, Bai Yi hurriedly bought the task card and today’s Superpower Crystal.

Not examining their specific effects, Bai Yi continued browsing today’s shop update and found today’s rare item to be a Directional Soldier Package, priced at 3000 points.

Though it looked promising, it fell short compared to the Second Rank exclusive items in the store.

Of course, more importantly, her remaining points after spending 3000 amounted to just 29000, and the leftover 4000 points could be saved for tomorrow.

Perhaps tomorrow she’d need just a few thousand points to make a solid purchase!

Even if leftover, the regular items in the store would update the next day, so she could still make purchases without loss.

Moreover, today was the second day since the opening of the Second Rank exclusive store.

Considering those who might have accumulated points yesterday and newcomers with Second Rank store entry tickets, today’s Second Rank store likely had more buyers compared to yesterday.

Bai Yi glanced at the number of props remaining, noting that the Abnormality Card Pack was down to just 6, while the Hero Unit Conversion Certificate, which Bai Yi favored, still had 8 left.

The other Hero Summon Voucher and Dungeon Tickets were each redeemed twice, with the Zone Transfer Certificate remaining untouched.

Yet, like other stores, today’s Second Rank exclusive also introduced a new exchange.

[World Transfer Certificate*1, 20000 points, remaining 10/10 (Second Rank exclusive)]

“Indeed, those who saw the mall yesterday are probably Lords ranking in the top ten or even top five, and those who reached this position wouldn’t be foolish.

They all went for the good stuff…”

Feeling a hint of satisfaction, Bai Yi had already decided on her point allocation.

[You have exchanged Random Abnormality Gift Package*2, Hero Unit Conversion Certificate*1, for a total cost of 25000 points, remaining points 4000]
